A tense situation unfolded at the beach near the Wellawatte railway station when the organization North-South Brotherhood attempted to hold a commemoration for Wellamullawaikkal.
The event included a lamp-lighting ceremony held by a group to honor and remember the Tamil individuals who lost their lives in Wellamullawaikkal during the final stages of the war in 2009.
Tensions escalated when another group, opposed to the commemoration, arrived at the location, prompting the police to intervene in order to control the situation.
